Plain and simple.
Make a Planned Parenthood (no abortions)
Make a Planned end of Parenthood (abortion facility)
Then the taxpayers can support women's health with the first and not worry about being told that they hate women because they don't want to fund abortions.

Then the taxpayers can support women's health with the first and not worry about being told that they hate women because they don't want to fund abortions.
To really understand what federal funds pay for at Planned Parenthood, you first need to know that federal tax dollars don’t pay for abortions. A decades-old, unfair law already prohibits that (except in cases of rape, incest, or when a woman’s life is in danger).
Again, most federal funding comes to Planned Parenthood in the form of reimbursements through Medicaid, the government-funded health insurance plan for people with low incomes.
Just like other kinds of health insurance, Medicaid reimburses Planned Parenthood’s doctors and nurses for the preventive medical services they provide, including life-saving cancer screenings, HIV testing, and birth control. There are no special favors here.
The majority of federal funds come through Planned Parenthood health centers via reimbursements for the medical services that they provide to patients who either have Medicaid coverage or qualify for other publicly funded health care programs (like Title X).
Planned Parenthood’s health centers also get federal funds for delivering vital services through Title X, the nation’s family planning program — funds that can only be used to support family planning health care.
Planned Parenthood serves 1.5 million of Title X’s over 4 million patients each year, helping people who often don’t have access to family planning care anywhere else. Without Planned Parenthood, many of these patients wouldn’t get the health care they need to take control of their lives.
In talking about funding, it’s important to note that:
The government saves $7 in Medicaid-related costs for every dollar invested in publicly funded family planning programs like Title X.
Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office projects that barring Planned Parenthood health centers from being reimbursed through Medicaid would result in a net cost of $130 million to taxpayers over 10 years due to an increase in unintended pregnancies without the high-quality contraceptive care that Planned Parenthood provides.
It is estimated that Planned Parenthood health centers prevent at least 579,000 unintended pregnancies a year.
Impact Shutting Down Planned Parenthood
If politicians out to “defund” Planned Parenthood have their way, they will block millions of patients who depend on Medicaid and other public health care programs from accessing care at Planned Parenthood health centers.
And we all know their ultimate goal: To shut down all Planned Parenthood health centers. If that happens, it would cause a national health care disaster. Many Planned Parenthood patients — nearly half of whom are people of color, and many of whom live in rural areas — would have nowhere else to turn for health care.
Got That Now?
Just to reiterate: The federal government doesn’t cut a blank check to Planned Parenthood.
The public funds that Planned Parenthood’s health centers receive are mostly reimbursements for preventive services, which often aren’t available anywhere else. Without Planned Parenthood, there just aren’t enough health care providers to deliver the millions of medical services it provides each year.
Your fiscal conservatism is rearing its ugly head again. Or maybe its the half that depend on Planned Parenthood fir health servcies that rankles you so much?
How much do they spend on lobbying politicians that support it? It is full circle.
NO ONE "supports" abortion. You're full circle stupid if you think anyone does. People support the CHOICE to have it legally and safely done by a medical professional in a medical facility and the proper psychological support be provided to deal with it in the unfortunate event that a woman makes the extremely difficult emotional and physical decision that it is the best option for her body and her life.
Wait a minute....the "libertarian" is also pro life? Dude, you are a walking contradiction.
In one breath you say that children are the future, in the next you support ending that potential before birth.
You are holding that hypocrisy, I will defend life.
The NRA hasn't ended any life, the NRA is supported with zero taxpayer dollars.
Planned Parenthood (irony there) ends life every day, and it is funded to the tune of $500M annually by taxpayers.
I know which is a greater threat to life.
***it angers me that I have to defend the NRA***
Well said unsung. The NRA is supported by citizens who choose to spend $35/year on memberships.
Is that the same NRA that is being investigated for taking Russian money and won't disclose their donors? That NRA?
So thats where the Clinton Foundation got it from! Oh, wait, they disclose their donors and file 501c3 filings. must be the other set of books they keep.

Pro-lifers don't understand the concept of CHOICE nor do they understand the concept that NO ONE SUPPORTS abortion.
I had an argument with some guy recently about why Trump overturned Obama's gun control measure last year regarding mentally ill people. Guy kept telling me it was because Trump believed in DUE PROCESS! This guy was due process this, due process that. I kept saying it was purely because it was an Obama EO and that's primarily what he cares about.
This just goes to show the president doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about....not as if we all didn't know that in the first place.

Some on here still don't know that. And there are some folks no longer here who don't know that. And theres still another 35% of Team Trump Treason's base that doesn't know that.
The funny thing is that Trump probably was briefed, but wasn't paying attention because it wasn't about him. I'm sure he's distracted by Hope leaving. Now who is going to be on the front lines obstructing for him?

I've found in my experience that libertarians oppose abortion more often then not. I believe it's because the dominant trait of libertarian ideology is a blanket form of anti-left fervor. The more the divide in this country grows, the more I see that the right stands for very little of its own ideology, and spends 99% of it's time standing against the left, or more accurately, the boogeyman they've created to represent the left.

Not Libertarians who have actually thought about the philosophy. I'm not an expert in it but I don't see how you can be a libertarian and not be pro choice. I know a few and they could care less if someone has an abortion or not. They see it as one less drag on society.

A true libertarian wouldn't give two shits what some woman does with her body.
